Most Interesting Character

After reading the Matyszak chapters, I cannot help but find Brutus to be the most fascinating person in them. I feel his relationship with Caesar was one of the most influential to Rome. Only because Caesar spared Brutus, could Brutus later on orchestrate Caesar’s death. If Brutus had not designed the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar, Rome’s fate could have been quite different. I also find that he spared Mark Antony, like Caesar had spared him, to be very interesting. The fact that he had later killed Caesar after being spared, and yet still spared Antony is incredibly perplexing. It almost makes me wonder if he in fact wanted Antony to rule after him. I cannot resist finding Brutus so interesting when he caused so many pivotal moments for Rome.
